Back from the game :) what a day, what a game.

If I'm honest, really felt we would rue all those chances in the first twenty minutes, and fair play to Elliott for some of those saves, but we really played well today.

I genuinely cannot pick MOTM, everyone played amazing, simple as that... Though Lallana's goal- the guy should starting in Brazil... And Lambert should deffo go and J Rod should again deffo go over Welbeck.

Here is hoping for a result against City :D

COYR!

Can't think of a more one-sded match for some time. If Newcastle was a horse, it would be a kindness to dispatch it at the knacker's yard. But it is worth debating, was the match so one-sided because we were so good, or was it because they were so poor? A disparaging remark on their forum accepts that they could be expected to lose against the top teams, but it is inexcusable that they lose against these lower teams like us. Look at the table now, Geordie, we're above you because we're currently better than you. We got rid of your manager in the third division and have several players wanted by the top teams, players who will be at the World Cup.

 

Really difficult to choose the Man of the Match, as there were several candidates for whom you could make a case for it. I thought Lambert shaded it over Lallana and Rodriguez, largely because of the unseflish assist to one of Rodriguez' goals. It was gratifying to see the warmth of their embrace once he scored; they're obviously good mates and the team play for each other. Great to see three different English players score the goals and they did their chances of playing for England no harm at all. Shaw and Chambers also played very well and Cork was another player who wouldn't look out of place there either. J W-P had a much better game than the last one and Davis was his usual hard-working and reliable self. Great to see Schneiderlin back in the second half and very timely as Newcastle had began to gain a bit of momentum until he came on. He quickly regained us control of the midfield and we then continued to pepper their goal.

 

The game should have been out of sight already by the half time whistle. I had almost lost count of the number of chances we had created and the shots on goal. It stood at ten by the half hour mark, one every three minutes on average, an incredible performance, but one almost feared not scoring and being hit by a goal from them in the 90th minute. The relief when we scored just before half-time was palpable and when we scored again early in the second half, there was a lot more reason for confidence.

 

Performances from all players were very good, with the exception of Fonte, who almost gifted them a goal from a momentary lapse of concentration, but otherwise he and Lovren were solid. Their keeper made some brilliant saves to keep the score down, especially the double save, whereas Boruc was mostly an onlooker.

 

The referee wasn't bad, but the lino on the Kingsland line was pretty useless. There was a throw that was obviously ours and he flagged for it, but their player took it and the referee and linesman let it pass. On another occasion he didn't know which was to flag the throw and just stood there looking flustered.

 

If they show all of our goal-scoring chances on Match of the Day, it will take them 15 minutes and it will look like a procession. This is one of the matches I am most looking forward to seeing later on the telly.

 

A brilliant day, only slightly tainted by the Skate's win against Newport.

Jack Cork is possibly the most under rated player in he Premier League IMO.

 

:adore:

 

And Rickie Lambert is the most under rated player on this site. We were excellent today and it was a joy to watch!

Excellent display - except for the number of missed chances. Lallana's goal is special. Lambert had a great game - he really ought to go to Brazil as England's secret weapon. JayRod did well but should have scored at least 5! We ought to be in the top 4 or 5 given the talent in our team.

Seems like we are Lineker's favourite team these days!

 

So glad to see Adam score a goal like that today. His shooting is something which has been iffy in the past.

 

Factor in that he was sung his weaker foot and that is some goal. The lad is on fire. He needs the World Cup to be next week.

Seriously, the motd running order tonight is a **** take - were second last

 

It's the least significant game in terms of the table along with Stoke vs Hull, which I assume is last. Two huge games in the title race, five goals plus plane controversy at Old Trafford, a six-goal six-pointer at the bottom and Swansea vs Norwich, which still has a relegation element to it. Not surprised, personally.

Motd tends to try and show chances from both teams, but it would a misrepresentation if they showed any Newcastle attacks at the expense of one of ours.

According to the BBC website we had 11 shots on target, we converted 4, which would suggest the keeper saved 7. not a bad return i think....excellent performance, JRod my MOM for his constant running, and his well taken goals. well done the Saints

 

their keeper (Elliott) won't play many better games than that. In the first half (Saints 15 shots - 0), he saved everything we threw at him and was their MOM by a mile.

 

Their defence was non-existent and we exploited it in every attack. Pardew must have really suffered, watching from the stands as he did. If we'd got into double figures it would have been deserved.

Fantastic result, was worried after we'd missed six chances in a row but two either side of half time is text book

Could someone explain why gaston doesn't start?

And thank you to the saints support that found our group of saints tickets after id dropped them on the way to the ground, crazy that the gent noticed our concern!

Still gives the ball away too often for me.. has the defence splitting pass but its not enough.. and who does he replace as Davis is integral to the way we play.

Incredible performance. We used 8 English players today, which is fantastic - particularly compared with Newcastle, who had 1 (and even he was a saints academy graduate!)

 

We bought Williamson from Torquay for a £100k.

Absolutely fantastic. Having given my season ticket away to see my girlfriend I'm slightly disappointed that I missed it but never mind. What a fantastic dominant display by the boys !!!!!

 

I hope she was worth it!

Just saying, but hasn't this been our biggest Premier League Win since we hot promoted?

We beat Aston Villa 4-1 last season, and again beat Hull 4-1 this season.

Can't recall a win with a four goal margin!

Newcastle were shocking and we fully deserved to win, and possibly by more!

Great to see the England lads putting in such epic performances. The result not that important in the bigger scheme of things. If we could deliver like that when the pressure is on I would be delighted. Delighted anyway really, but wish we were still in with a shout of winning something this season the way we are playing.

3 good, 1 bad:

 

Good - Smashing entertainment this game and what a joy it is to see our players sweating blood to win a game that didn't matter

Good - What fun I had taking the mick out of my NUFC supporting mate yesterday - all the way back to Poole.

Good - Adam Lallana did something with a football yesterday that I've never seen before - it happened so quickly I can't even describe it properly - but trust me it was Cruyff brilliant.

 

Bad - I Tried a new car park yesterday after waiting a hour to get out of West Park Rd last time. At £7.70 for 4 hours this is not a mistake I will be repeating anytime soon!

He loses possession far too much. Number one reason!

Totally outstanding performance - for anyone who didn't see the match, don't be told that 4-0 was because Newcastle were poor (they were) - it was mostly to do with a collective performance that befitted a top four team. Oh yes, if that had been Arsenal or 'Pool the pundits would be dribbling over their programmes. It would be wrong to pick out just one or two Saints players as MOTM - they were all fantastic to a man, but J-Rod, Lallana, Lambert, Cork and Davis were outstanding. Shaw and Chambers put on displays that surely must be placing them at the front of the England managers thoughts - real class. Boruc will not earn an easier pay-day than that.
